Re^3: Overriding the registry's PERL5LIB in mod

I have no idea how it works on Windows, but on Linux all you need to do to set PERL5LIB is put it on the command-line when you start apache: PERL5LIB=/my/path apachectl start

On Win32 Apache is run as a service. The command-line to run is specified in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Apache2.2 In my case this is: "C:\apache2.2\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice It isn't as simple as just changing that to something like: set PERL5LIB=C:\perl\lib;C:\perl\site\lib && "C:\apache2.2\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice but possibly some kind of wrapper program could be worked in there which sets PERL5LIB and then runs the service. I think I'm going to settle for just removing the registry lookup from my perl build, though.	[reply]
